| Title | Seattle Yacht Club and Portage Bay, April 25, 1930 |
| Photographer | Webster & Stevens |
| Date | 1930 |
| Caption | The Seattle Yacht Club had its first home in West Seattle. After the Lake Washington Ship Canal opened in 1919, the club built new facilities in Montlake, on Portage Bay. This gave members a sheltered place to keep their boats and access to both Lake Washington and Puget Sound. The fresh water of Portage Bay also kept destructive barnacles from growing on the boats' hulls.
In April 1930, a few days before the annual Opening Day, the photographer took this photo from the north end of Capitol Hill. It shows the Seattle Yacht Club, Portage Bay, and various buildings on the campus of the University of Washington. |
